I did everything according to your instructions. I followed the link you provided. I downloaded the indicated file. I then installed it. After installation, it required a restart of my laptop. And that I did. When my computer restarted, THE SAME "IAStorIcon has stopped working" message reappeared. Nothing has changed :-( So, I guess the "solution" you provided has not worked. Please HELP!!!

According to many reliable sources (online and otherwise), and according to Best Buy's Geek Squad, that "IAStorIcon" is required by many programs in order to function properly on my computer. Appearantly it is on computers for a reason, and did work fine, until recently. Once this "IAStorIcon" message started appearing, my installed programs such as "Movavi Video Converter 10," "Pinnacle Studio 14," "SightSpeed," and several others, have stopped working properly. For example, I used to be able to seemlessly upload videos from my camcorder (via Pinnacle Studio, or via Windows Media Player) via a firewire cable to my computer. That feature is no longer working. I cannot in any way get videos to upload to my computer. The upload feature in Pinnacle Studio, for example, fails each and every time now. Based on my extensive research, (and believe me, it has been very extensive!!!), this "IAStorIcon" file necessary and needs to function properly. I am NOT a computer technician, so I might be wrong. Please help me further. What is your assessment???

hello again, you can anytime start the program MANUALLY. since it is not a SERVICE, you can disable the program. it will not start automatically whenever you start your computer. BUT, you can start the program manually (by finding its icon and double clicking on it) if your pinnacle program etc. is not working, let's try to reinstall the program. please disable it first and then restart your computer. when you come back please let me know. we can try to reinstall it.

• The last time I was able to use my programs without any problems was just prior to the "IAStorIcon" message started showing up. • Unfortunately, I cannot do a System Restore. I do not have have System Restore Discs, and I am not certain all of my files & programs are properly backed up. I am a high school teacher, and loosing any school-related files or programs, towards the end of the school year, would be a real tragedy. • Check out this online info on "IAStorIcon" at the following link: http://www.qwhatis.com/what-is-iastoricon/• Why is this "IAStorIcon" issue sooo elusive??? If that file ..."has stopped working," why isn't it possible to find, download, and re-install that very same "IAStorIcon" file, so that it WORKS again? You guys are the experts. Please continue to find a solution. Don't give up on my case, please! Thanks!

• Remember what my initial contact said? The problem is with "IAStorIcon." The message that pops up after my laptop boots says "IAStorIcon has stopped working. Windows is trying to find a solution to the problem."

• I have uninstalled and re-installed Pinnacle TWICE! I have also done the same with two other programs: "Movavi Video Converter 10" and "SightSpeed." These programs, and a couple others, have all stopped working properly, when that "IAStorIcon" message started popping up. Re-installation of these programs has not resolved the ongoing issue.

• According to several forums online, this issue of "IAStorIcon has stopped working" is not all that uncommon. Several people are reporting this very same problem. Simply type in that message in Google to see the many identical complaints.

Thank you for not giving up on my case. Please do continue to try to find a solution. You are very much appreciated!

Well, here I am, back on here. I apologize for not being able to get back on here much earlier today. As a school teacher, I had to attend to my classes, and then later to some very important meetings.

• I did restart my computer, but nothing has changed. I still get the temporary pop-up window with the message: "IAStorIcon has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem."

• Installed programs still are not working properly, and I am unable to upload or import any video (using a firwire cable, as I have usually done) via Pinnacle Studio 14, or via Windows' native video importing applications.

• Again, the issue is that "IAStorIcon has stopped working!" Why isn't it possible to find, download, and re-install that very same "IAStorIcon" file (that has stopped working), so that it WORKS again? In the past almost two days now, nothing you have suggested has worked. Please DO NOT give up on my case! If I am continuing to seek your assistance, it's because I do believe that HOPEFULLY very soon, or eventually, you will find a solution to this problem.

• Is this perhaps the most elusive computer problem you have ever been faced with? Why is it so difficult to solve? There is a WHOLE LOT of chatter online in forums and otherwise about this particular issue. This issue seems to be not so uncommon. But, since I am NOT a computer technician, I cannot fix the problem. I trust that you can, like others have. I have been at this issue for the past week or so now, before I finally decided to pay for your services here on JustAnswer.com. Please try to find a definitive solution that actually works. Perhaps by locating a IAStorIcon file re-download, to be re-installed, and thus reparing the one that "...has stopped working." Thank you :-)I am waiting.....
